Making 3D prints of the surfaces generated from the images is a problem because they are not solid. I followed a workshop on 3D printing by Stephen Burns who wrote a couple of books. The 3D photoshop for creative professionals I have bought. I know and met Stephen a couple of times, personally in America with Adobe because we are both Adobe Education Leaders.

He told us about the software Meshmixer by Autodesk that is for free and an amazing piece of software that can help fixing problems with my Delftsblue vases.
To start of I looked at some YouTube tutorials, this being one of them:
It is not to say that I now know hor the program works perfectly but I was able to change my vases enough to send them to the place where they will have a look at the 3D clay printing. Titus van Lierop will do that part for me normally but he was not available at the moment that I was asked to sent it.
I am waiting for the feedback but had a lot of fun with it and will for sure use it more often in other projects
Left the start and right what I made of it. I was told to sent it solid and the inside can be made during the slicing done before the printing.
There was one function I tried that gave an exciting results, not that I can use it for now but something I like to remember edit > hollow.
It is what you see here the translucence that reminds me of clouds.
